Spring Cleaning!

Hope you all have been enjoying the energy of this beautiful New Moon and its deeply immersive phase in Taurus today. Enjoy nature, take beautiful care of yourself, express your love and nourish your spirit, mind and body!

A New Moon suggestion for May – Spring cleanse your home and bless your yard.

This is the perfect time to clear out all the old energies of Winter, any discontent or discord that may have built up along with the dust. After you clean your house, take or make a beautiful smoke/smudge stick, with feather fan if you have one and a plate or shell to catch any embers. Set your intention to offer this beautiful, sacred ceremony and ask the elements to dance with you through your home, bringing light and peace to every corner. Thank the ancestors who gave us this practice and honor them with an offering of oil, a flower or something to express your love.

How my 12th Grandchild helped Heal my Sleep…

At now 70 years of age, I talk about healing a lot. This post is on Sleep Healing. I have written about setting healthy sleep patterns and habits before. This is a different look at healing the personal sources of sleep issues. Each of us is unique, our life experiences are unique, and our healings are unique and individual. No one size fits all!

The journey we are on here on this planet is pretty amazing. The lesson being taught me on a deeper level right now is about asking. When I truly ask, I am always blessed with a healing response. I don’t mean this religiously. It is a Spiritual Principle I am learning and will explain further on. Recently, responses have been very clear and quite close in to my asking. My latest ask has been about my sleep. As my Shamanic learning continues I am empowered and connected in new ways through journeying. There are openings, communications and travelings back and forth in the spirit world that are – I’m going to repeat myself – amazing – and always healing!

So on to sleep…

When working with me, some clients stay for a healing journey, some dip into the waters once or several times and are satisfied, and some are unsettled in their response to Reiki treatment and healing work – the temperature of change is not quite right for them at this time. I welcome all, whether for a one-time swim through the pools we find during Reiki and healing sessions together or for a longer journey into the light and shadows of self-healing. Yet the question is often raised and discussed in healing circles:

Why don’t we all run toward this wonderful thing called healing and dive right in? What makes us hesitate?

Deeper Precepts – The Vow

A Wider Context for the Precepts

This morning I pulled an archetype card.

It was a dark circle with clenching hands that gave me a shiver to look at.

Then I noticed a white dove flying up out of the clenched hands and began to wonder what it all meant.

I felt the darkness and heaviness of the black circle, the tension of the clenched holding hands and the lifting of the dove.

This card is called The Vow

Its Roman numeral is LIV …. Live

Healing for Broken Promises

A Simple Ceremony to clear Past, Present and Future

We make many promises, vows and contracts during our lives, consciously and unconsciously. We sometimes inherit family vows, either kept or broken, unknowingly.

Clearing the spiritual palette of old promises no longer needed or broken vows causing confusion can aide us in setting clear goals and following our chosen paths unhindered.

Ceremony is the way we close out the old and set intention for the new.

Practicing Gratitude

The Life Changing Gift you Give Yourself

It’s no wonder attitude and gratitude rhyme – that embedded in the word gratitude is the essence of the word attitude. They are inexorably intertwined in nature and that intertwining is essential to our happiness and survival.

Using the global power of the crystals beneath our feet

Feldspar and Quartz Crystal are the two most common elements in the earth’s crust – I just learned that again today as I was reading through one of my energy cards this morning.

The card write up was asking me to focus my intention with crystal clarity to create that which I am seeking to manifest – holding intention consciously rather than letting it be lazily flopping around in my thoughts, but not over indulging in intensity, just relaxing within the conscious intention.

Invoking a Good Night’s Sleep and a little Reiki Rest

Reiki trained or not, a good night’s sleep is not far away with a few tips and helps around the subject of sleep.

Of first importance is recognizing and acknowledging how incredibly vital and important sleep is to our well-being, mentally, physically and emotionally. One of the first signs and results of any illness is sleep disturbance (lack of sleep) or the need to sleep more than usual. Our sleeping state indicates our waking state; improving one improves the other. If we look at how we sleep we will get a different understanding of who we are in waking time.

Do not take sleep for granted.

We all tend to think, on some level, that sleep is a naturally occurring thing and that we will go to sleep at night because that is what humans do. If we hang in there long enough, the body will give up and sleep for us. If it doesn’t, we take or try something to help us sleep.

Improper sleep may be a medical condition that needs good attending to. Imbalances in hormones, vitamin deficiencies and sleep apnea are a few of the physical culprits robbing us of rest. A sleep analysis or a visit to a good functional practitioner or holistic provider may assist in giving our bodies the physical capability to sleep well. Trauma and PTSD are sleep destroyers and will need professional help to move through towards a healing night’s rest. We take our daymares to bed with us where they live in our sleeping and dreams. Again, our sleep is showing us our waking state.

Taking our sleeping seriously and working with sleep patterns to bring balanced rest with all its healing power is an important responsibility we have to ourselves. Sleep doesn’t just happen, we make it. It is the result of our living. The patterns we weave in the day run clearly in our sleep.

Spring Cleaning!
